Welcome to Select Advisors Institute’s Trust Score Page!
We can all accept that one of the CRITICAL areas that will determine if a prospective client will work with you is if you are deemed trustworthy by him or her.
And while you may believe you absolutely are trustworthy, and your clients know they can trust you, it may not be so obvious to those who don’t know you.
Just like we are able to determine how the markets are doing relative to a benchmark, we should be able to measure how we are doing from a Trust Factor perspective.
Thus the creation of the Select Advisors Trust Score [learn about the building blocks behind this test]. You can learn more about this topic here.
Below, please find the test!
